[INFO] CactiCD upgrade from 0.8.6h to 0.8.6.i with plugins

[egarnel]

I was able to upgrade my test CactiEZ server from h to i without even missing a polling cycle successfully. I will let it run a few days before I do the same on the production CactiEZ server.
my notes are for CactiEZ CD installations

Code: Select all

     mkdir /SRC/CACTI/upgrades    #<== my drop location for src files
     wget http://www.cacti.net/downloads/cacti-0.8.6i.tar.gz
     wget http://download.cactiusers.org/downloads/cacti-plugin-arch.zip
     ls
     tar -xvzf cacti-0.8.6i.tar.gz
     ls
     mysqldump -l --add-drop-table cacti > mysql.cacti -p
     mv /var/www/html /var/www/html_old
     mv cacti-0.8.6i /var/www/
     mv /var/www/cacti-0.8.6i /var/www/html
     vi /var/www/html_old/include/config.php
     vi /var/www/html/include/config.php
     cp /var/www/html_old/rra/* /var/www/html/rra/
     cp -u /var/www/html_old/scripts/* /var/www/html/scripts/
     cp -u -R /var/www/html_old/resource/* /var/www/html/resource/
     chown -R apache.apache /var/www/html
   
     mkdir plugin-arch
     cp cacti-plugin-arch.zip plugin-arch/
     cd plugin-arch/
     unzip cacti-plugin-arch.zip
     cp -a * /var/www/html/
     cd /var/www/html
     patch -p1 -N < cacti-plugin-0.8.6i.diff
     vi include/config.php
     #  change db password, add plugins from old config.php
     vi /var/www/html/include/config.php
     vi /var/www/html_old/include/config.php
     vi /var/www/html/include/config.php
         copy plugins from old location
     cd /var/www/html_old/plugins/
  
     mv index.php index.php.old
  
    cp -a * /var/www/html/plugins/
    cd /var/www/html/plugins
    chown -R apache.apache *
        #  I want to keep the old version around for a bit, but lock the dir down  
    chmod 750 /var/www/html_old
  

    
   

This worked like a charm for me, your mileage may vary

Thanks for posting that, it was extremely helpful.

HTH. Just did our production Cacti server with the same results

Hello,

I very much would like to use this script to upgrade my CactiEZ from 0.8.6i to 0.8.6j , but what do I need to change (beside the obvious 'i' to 'j') ?

I'm totally new to linux (and thus CentOS), where do I place the script? Do you have a suggestion for a name for the script? How to execute the script?

Thank you, Ronald

Actually it is a list of the commands used. It could be scripted easily, but you could cut & paste the commands as well
